A few of them will probably still be flying 80 years after production of
the model started. Gotta give Boeing credit for a pre-computer-era
design like that, to still be usable this many decades later.

IIRC, they're already flying with the grandkids of their first crews.

I've seen occasional reports like that, but have no way to know if they
are true, or just PR hype. Seems like it would be a hoot for some young
crew member to go to the squadron archives and pull the old logbooks for
'his' bird, and see Grandpa's name on the crew roster from some missions
40-50 years before.


Kind of like Battlestar Galactica? Of course it's more of a spacecraft
carrier but it's old, very old. ^_^
